Plagiarism & Cheating

At Crowder College, plagiarism, like other forms of academic dishonesty, warrants an ‘F’ on first offense for that assignment or test, an ‘F’ in the entire class on second offense, and permanent expulsion from the college on the third offense. All forms of academic dishonesty are reported to the Dean of Instruction’s Office for tracking.

Plagiarism is when a writer uses another person’s work without giving credit to that person. It does not matter if the plagiarized material is from a generic Internet page or some other informal document.
